The Incipient Shire of Drakelaw Presents Winter Rose V

Winter Rose VII

I am here,
For here I be,
And what comes next,
I'll have to see.

We honor the Legend of the Winter Rose each and every year here within Drakelaw. This year, in addition to our normal celebration, we are also celebrating our advancement to Full Status. We would like to invite each and every one of our friends, boon companions and family - as well as those of you who are yet to become our friends and family - to join us, and celebrate with us, at the lovely Jenny Wiley State Park in Prestonsburg KY from November 16 - 18.

The main tournament has now been announced and it will be a basic pool tournament with the following twist:

At the end of the first round, anyone who did not advance may petition a royal court, the judicial kind, for reinstatement. A $2.00 fee for court costs will be levied and then the combatant will get to fight the crown or a champion of their choosing. Should the combatant prove victorious they will be reinstated.
If they fail, they may appeal at the end of the next round. The appeal will garner a fee of $5.00 dollars and then they may face the crown or champion again.
A combatant may petition as many times as they need to, but they can appeal only once.
No petitions or appeals will be heard in the final round.

All fees will be donated to the royal travel fund, split between Their Majesties and their Highnesses.

Please also remember that if we have enough entrants we will also be holding a Novice Tournament first thing in the morning.

Four Merchants are currently planning on attending Rose at this time and it should give everyone a great selection of items to pick from.

Feast will be on Saturday Eve and start around 6PM (or immediately after Court if it takes longer) and last until approximately 8PM. Feast will be the Buffet from the Restaurant. Entertainment will be provided at intervals during feast.

There will, again, be a Popular Vote A&S competition this year. Please bring any project you wish to enter and a prize will be given on Saturday eve to the winner (by populace vote). No documentation is required for this competition.

Contrary to what the Pale Ad says there are currently no plans for a Rapier Competition. I also note that the prices are different from the Ad so please check the Site Fees page.
